China is investing more than ever in higher
education with the aim of obtain world renowned universities and hosting
more international students. There
were nearly 300,000
international students studying in China in 2011 and the Ministry of Education
reports that the number increased by 29% to reach 377,054 in 2014 (with 5.77% growth over 2013 alone). China's unique languages
(Mandarin and Cantonese), artistic calligraphy, therapeutic martial arts like
Tai Chi are contributing cultural factors that draw foreigners to study in
China. Students can study engineering, medicine, economics, finance, along with
the cultural subjects. Many Chinese universities offer courses that are taught
in English. Students can also receive dual degrees in Chinese and another subject.

The Chinese government signed an agreement on
mutual recognition of academic qualifications with a total of 65 countries, including the United States, England, France and Japan. The Education
Bureau of China and the 65 designated countries will accept the
certificate/degree/diploma issued by Chinese universities. Certifications in a full-time non-degree
program will also be accredited.

By studying in China, you will enrich your college
experience. You will learn inside and outside of the classroom, experience
Eastern culture, take unique elective courses, enhance your language skills and
receive a degree or certificate in your desired field.

China has had the world's fastest
growing economy for the last 30 years. The rise of the Chinese economy makes
students that study in China more marketable after they graduate because they
are familiar with Chinese cultural and the language. The world's top 500
companies all do business in China, many selecting Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu
or another booming city in China as their Asian-Pacific headquarters.

In addition to studying in China, many
of our students are also teachers that teach individual private English lessons
for up to $40 an hour or small group hourly classes for $60 an houradding valuable teaching experience to their
resumes. Students are often surprised by how well the pay is for hourly private
English classes. The demand is so high that families and universities are
willing to pay more to strengthen their English abilities. Our students consider their experience studying in China as a valuable tool for employment upon
graduation.

tuition fees reach a rocketing US$60k. International students in China can

commodities for a low price. Our international students enjoy delicious spicy
noodles for lunch for a dollar and take the bus or subway to/from university
for under 50 cents. The costs of apartments or dorms in the city varies between $130-$200 per
month. This economy allows foreigners to
live comfortably and have a higher standard of living. The dramatic growth of
foreign students studying in China has also been aided in part by an expansion
of Chinese government scholarships for foreign students. True China also helps
in finding aid to further lower the tuition costs. By studying in China, you

5) Friendly Environment

Chinese people are very close with their
family. Their friends become part of their family. They are very caring,
warm-hearted and will look after you. While it is common for you to be friends
with someone for a while and never meet their relatives in Western countries,
it is very rare that you won’t meet your Chinese friends’ families very
quickly. You can spend time at their home, practicing your Chinese with their
grandparents and parents. Don’t be surprised if the grandparents just stare and
smile at you. This may be the first time a Western visitor has been to their
home or that they have even seen someone from a Western country in person.

China has become relatively easier to travel
for English speakers in the downtown or city centers of major cities. After the
Beijing Olympics, English signs were put up around the major squares, markets,
roads, universities and popular sites. This welcoming environment will sure
make you feel right at home in no time!

Western media soaring through China, the West and East are meeting-- creating a
new cultural blend. Come and be part of China’s changing culture. Where
